SS316 Stainless Steel Shims – Marine Grade

Description

SS316 Stainless Steel Shims – Marine Grade

SS316 Stainless Steel Shims are precision-engineered components designed to withstand the toughest operational environments. Composed of 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, SS316 stainless steel exhibits superior resistance to chlorides, seawater, and industrial chemicals compared to SS304.

This makes SS316 shims a top choice for marine, petrochemical, oil & gas, desalination, and offshore platforms, where long-term exposure to corrosive agents is unavoidable.

Saifex Industries provides SS316 Marine-Grade Shims in an extensive range of configurations — from mirror-polished aesthetic shims to 2B or No.4 functional finishes. Available in precision thicknesses from 0.05 mm to 5 mm, these shims maintain dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, and anti-corrosion properties under extreme operating conditions.

Every shim supplied by Saifex Industries adheres to ASTM A240 / ASME SA240 / AISI 316 / DIN 1.4401 standards and undergoes strict quality testing. With reliable exports and fast delivery across Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the UAE, Saifex Industries ensures performance, precision, and long service life in every product.
